The Pale Blue Dot - Heintz & Kop | PLAN Brabant
You are taken on a hand-conjured journey through space, without ever leaving your seat. The audience sits around a mechanical table, inspired by the Eise Eisinga Planetarium, where scale models and live projections combine to create a world that keeps zooming further out. Wordless and handcrafted, a sensory journey unfolds from street to city, from Earth to an ever-widening perspective. The show is not a reconstruction but a playful imagining of the universe, summoned up with everyday materials: cardboard, mirrors, a hand winch, torches and perhaps even a ping-pong ball.
Just like Eise Eisinga, who built a planetarium in his own living room to get a grip on the turmoil in the world, Heintz & Kop create a journey through space as a gesture of wonder and stillness – a human attempt to feel our place in the endless universe around us.
What the media say about The Pale Blue Dot
“A fantastic play of light and shadow: dreamy, fascinating and elusive. As you zoom out further and further, the realisation grows: how small we are.” (NPO Klassiek)
